If I am irritable, restless, or discontent then I am in danger of relapse. This simple statement made a lot of sense for me today.

I had an important meeting with my boss in which I had to take some criticism. It turned out ok and I didn't get fired. I am not in trouble and I am not on any kind of write-up. My boss simply had to let me know to improve on something.

I am grateful that I had power from God to relieve my fears all week.
I am grateful that I didn't have to talk to my wife about it and give her something to be afraid of.
I am grateful to have others to talk to about it.

Today at the noon meeting we talked about step 6.

Tonight I have to be willing to let God remove my irritability.
